Day 55: ‘We need our next fix’

DON’T worry mum, dad, I’ve not suddenly taken to the drink or become a drug addict overnight! 

What I’m looking for is far more addictive, and far easier to get hold of..I’m talking quality drama series - in our house often American, but I’m not averse to the odd British classic.

My husband and I are both addicts. In fact as I’m writing this blog I have one eye on the 3am till 4am episode of 24 (season eight if you want specifics), having just completed season one of House of Cards, while waiting for the next disc of Elementary season one.

I told you. Addicted.

Whether it’s West Wing - I love CJ, Josh, Toby, Sam, Leo, Donna and Jed (Mr President) as if they were actual real people - Sherlock, Desperate Housewives, Dexter (our cat’s namesake), Breaking Bad, Luther, Spooks or Hustle, I have been engrossed in every one of them at some point in the past few years.

Of course the series I have seen more times than my own feet has to be Friends, but having just sold my box set on Amazon, and the frequency of episodes being cut on Comedy Central, I am slowing having to realise, there is life beyond Central Perk. Slowly.

We’re getting to the end of our current list and we need suggestions. Tell me what we’re missing, is there another Jack Bauer out there yet undiscovered? Have we overlooked a Sherlock in the making? Does anyone do the Jackal like CJ? 

Come on ladies and gents, there’s another 311 evenings left in 2014 to fill - and in reality we’ll only be out of the house for about ten of those, so there’s a potential 1,200 hours of viewing to be had!
